Acceleration over SwiftBroadband for CNX-200 Series 2 Network


Accelerators

TN-1110-50259
Revision: A00
July 9, 2009

Introduction
This technical note provides information on accelerating traffic over a SBB (SwiftBroadband) satellite
communications connection using a CNX-200 Network Accelerator. Satellite communication systems
upgrading from Swift64 to SwiftBroadband must reconfigure their equipment because SwiftBroadband
is a direct internet connection while Swift64 provides a fully routable private network via ISDN.
The procedures in this technical note provide a guideline to configure the CNX-200 Series 2 Network
Accelerator to route accelerated traffic through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel. The
configuration of each network is different and the procedures in this technical note may have to be
altered. Therefore, this technical note is intended for users proficient with IP and VPN network design.
Configuring the CNX-200 Series 2 Network Accelerator to accelerate traffic over SBB includes:
• Setting Up the Groundside Hardware
• Configuring the Groundside Hardware
• Setting Up the Airside Hardware
• Configuring the Airside Hardware

Requirements
The hardware requirements for acceleration over SBB are:
• CNX maintenance harness, ECS part number 600-97273-101
• Expand 4800 accelerator (or more recent version)
• Cisco 2800 router
• Network switch
• A broadband compatible satellite communication system (HSD-400 and HSD-440
terminals)
The software requirements for acceleration over SBB are:
• CNX software build 137
• Expand IOS 5.08 or greater
• Secure Cisco IOS, for example, 12.3(14)T7
• A BGAN SIM Card with a Public Fixed IP address
• A public fixed IP address for the ground router

Setting Up the Groundside Hardware


This section provides information about setting up the Cisco 2800 router and Expand 4800
accelerator. For installation instructions, refer to the installation manuals and www.cisco.com for
technical support.
To set up the groundside hardware:
1 Connect a crossover RJ-45 cable between the Fast Ethernet 0/0 of the Cisco router and the
Fix IP network jack, LAB-2-012, on the Expand accelerator.
2 Connect a crossover RJ-45 cable between the Fast Ethernet 0/1 of the Cisco router and the
Ethernet 0/1 of the Expand accelerator.
3 Connect a straight RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet 0/0 of the Expand accelerator and the
network switch.
4 Connect the network switch to an internet connection or a corporate web server.

Configuring the Groundside Hardware


Setting up the CNX-200 Series 2 Network Accelerator includes the following procedures:
• Connecting to the Expand accelerator
• Configuring the Expand accelerator
• Connecting to the Cisco router
• Configuring the Cisco router
To connect to the Expand accelerator:
1 Connect a DB-9 cable to the console port of the Expand accelerator.
2 On your computer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to
Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.
